9-Equal Opportunity Form.pdf

This is an Equal Opportunity Certification Form required for subcontractors pursuant to Executive Order 11246 in connection with the Little Rock Kanis Park Loop (TAP-22) project (Job 061776) in Arkansas. The form serves as an initial certification requirement for any bidder or prospective contractor and their proposed subcontractors to disclose their participation history in previous contracts subject to equal opportunity clauses. The certification requires subcontractors to state whether they have participated in prior contracts or subcontracts subject to the Equal Opportunity Clause and whether all required compliance reports have been filed. The form must be completed and signed by an authorized representative of the subcontractor, including the subcontractor's name, address with ZIP code, and the date of certification.

The certification process includes four key questions requiring yes or no responses: whether the bidder has participated in a previous contract or subcontract subject to the Equal Opportunity Clause; whether compliance reports were required to be filed; whether all required compliance reports have been filed; and whether the bidder has been or is being considered for sanctions due to violations of Executive Order 11246. Where certification indicates that a subcontractor has failed to file required compliance reports, the subcontractor must submit a compliance report before the project owner approves the subcontract or permits work to commence. The form requires the signature of a certifying official with typed name and title, along with the date of signature.
